Rangers' Jeremy Jeffress: Throws inning in minor league game

Jeffress pitched an inning against minor leaguers Saturday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

He retired the side in order on nine pitches, recording one strikeout. The right-hander has not been scored upon in seven Cactus League innings this spring, but with seven hits allowed and a 4:3 K:BB in that span, he hasn't exactly been dominant. Regardless, Jeffress appears in line to serve as the top setup option to closer Sam Dyson to begin 2017, ahead of the likes of Matt Bush and Keone Kela.
